USA, the land of unlimited possibilities...of how to get detained without a process...for expressing opinions...by the government repating that we have finally free speach and the dark ages are gone...while revisiting history to avoid dangerous words such as a 'women'...

And I've thought our wana-be-authorian politicians are greates idiots of all, but there seems to be running some kind of global world competion to find them and let them ruin their countries.

The politicians aren't idiots, they don't actually believe anything they say.

The idiots are the people whose support they politicians are courting.

Some of them are. Have you ever heard anything said by the current US president? It's just incoherent rambling.

Then we also have the Signal chat, and even biographies and books by some of the others that makes it clear done of these people are genuinely dumb as fuck.

Which is ironic considering all we heard from MAGA/Fox for the last 4 years is that Biden was incoherent and senile.

From the outside they both come across as incompetent and senile and it's hard to believe those are really the people at the top.

It doesn't really matter if Biden was a drooling vegetable, if his appointments were competent at doing their jobs.

These guys are, sadly competent at... Well, a few things, but none of them include 'good governance'.

It did matter in the election.
